Subscribing to content for notifications

You might like to stay in the loop about updates and new comments on content and topics that matter to you. The simplest way to do this is to subscribe to the content, which makes sure you get notified of new changes and updates in the notification bell and optionally via email or push notification.

You're automatically subscribed to content you create or comment on. For example, if you comment on a timeline post, you'll receive notifications about new comments on that post. You can unsubscribe from content to stop receiving notifications.

Content available for subscription

You can subscribe to content on these elements:

Element You're notified about
Timeline posts New comments on a timeline post.
Multichannel posts New comments on a Multichannel post on the timeline.
Entries in a list app Updates to a list entry.
Threads in a forum app New forum thread replies. Allows you to follow a particular thread.

Subscribe to content

The way you subscribe to receive notifications depends on the element you're subscribing to:

Posts, articles, entries

To receive notifications for updates, select the Subscribe icon icon under the element. When you're subscribed to content, the icon changes to .

Pages, Communities, Events

For pages, communities, and events, you subscribe to or unsubscribe from notifications in the Options box by selecting Subscribe or Unsubscribe. When you join a page or community or reply to an event, you're subscribed to notifications by default.

If you unsubscribe from page notifications, you will no longer be subscribed to the page. However, if you unsubscribe from community notifications, you will remain a member but will stop receiving notifications from it. You cannot unsubscribe from auto-subscribed pages.
